Windows starting but then hanging after BIOS update
I decided to update the Bios and it went through OK until I accidentally hit BIOS default setting. This caused me to lose my Raid boot. I went and copied the old SAM, software and system files and this provided me with a boot into windows. The windows then hangs up while starting. It stays in the black screen until I either force a boot or it reboots by itself. I have put in the install disc and run repair several times and it says it went well, but still doesn't improve much. The HD's are crunching data longer everytime I repair it, but it still never completes the loading of windows. The error shows a corrupt registry. So any ideas on how to correct the registry without re-installing windows. As mirrored drives, I am not sure how to go about the reloading of windows without affecting the data.
Thanks,
Ed
